Using goto on a file in hidden folder fails

I am not sure you would consider this a bug, or it is just a byproduct of the selected list settings, but I have noticed that using goto on a non hidden file that resides in the hierarchy of a hidden location fails (maxitree), here is a quick script that should hopefully demonstrate the issue (just press continue when you get the expected scripting error dialog):

Code: Select all

	setting "ShowHiddenItems", 0;
	$file = quicksearch("/l=1 /f", "%APPDATA%");
	goto $file;
	msg "Notice the hidden folder can't be accessed";
	settingp "ShowHiddenItems", 1;
	goto $file;
	msg "Now file is correctly found";
I should add that this same issue also affects "Paste and Go".

Well, I'm not surprised. Hidden is hidden. What should happen instead? I'm open to suggestions.

Never mind, I know what to do now...
